  • Good friction range for gritstone
Addingham Edge is a quiet gritstone escarpment situated on high moorland above Addingham village. The rock is high-quality, textured gritstone with clean vertical faces, bold arêtes, and horizontal breaks. Facing south across open moorland, the crag absorbs full sunlight and dries almost immediately following rain showers. The venue offers enjoyable trad climbing and bouldering, primarily covering grades between Severe and E4. Classic routes like Addingham Arete showcase friction movement on solid rock. Reach the crag via a 15-minute uphill walk on public footpaths from roadside parking. High moorland winds require warm layers during winter visits.
